Man accused of shooting while car repossessed

An Elk Grove man is under arrest after police said he fired his gun while a tow truck driver was trying to reposes his car.

The man repossessing the car told police he had already hooked the car to his truck and was preparing to drive away when he was confronted by the resident, identified by the police department as Homer Black, 51.

The driver told police one shot was fired from an unknown type of gun prompting him to unhook the car and flea the neighborhood.

Elk Grove police spokesman Chris Trim said when officers arrived minutes later the car was gone and Black was in his home refusing to come out.

A standoff with police lasted about two hours before Black came out with his hands in the air. He was arrested without a fight.

A woman and teenage girl also came out of the home and did not appear injured and told police they were not held against their will.

Police were waiting for a search warrant so they could look inside the home for the alleged gun.

The missing car was later recovered about two blocks away.

Nearly two dozen homes were evacuated during the standoff.
